So I hate to keep teasing you guys, but every little thing I add makes me all giddy so I just gotta share :P

The first picture is just a shot of a cherry blossom canopy over a pavement path I made. The second, fourth and fifth shots show a little bit of the lantern placement (which still has some issues, but placement code is annoyingly tedious). Also, the fireflies are now completed and working as intended, and capturing them with the net works. The net has 64 uses before it breaks. I tried out firefly hunting in survival and I thought it was fun (albeit a bit dangerous :))
The recipes for everything currently sits as follows:
Cherry Sapling = 1 dung, 1 pink dye, and 1 sapling in the crafting table.
Firefly Lantern = 1 Firefly in the center, wood moulding on the top, bottom and sides (corners are empty)
Pavement = Gravel and bonemeal in a non-stoked stewing pot (I wanted to incorporate the cement bucket, but I thought that might be too expensive for such a basic block)
Net = "--F", "-SF", "SFF", where F is hemp fiber and S is stick and - is empty
Cherry leaves can be gathered with shears (but not the fallen leaves just yet)
I have a few ideas for other themes of aesthetics I'd like to add, the first being water-themed decor, like driftwood and seaweed. Feel free to suggest water-themed blocks or mobs you might like to see.
Anyway again, sorry for the teaser :P
